Punxsutawney Phil is in big trouble with New Hampshire police, according to a Facebook post.

The Merrimack Police Department posted on Facebook this week that it has issued a "warrant" for Phil's arrest because of the incredible amount of snow that has fallen in the Northeast.

"We have received several complaints from the public that this little varmint is held up in a hole, warm and toasty," the post said. "He told several people that Winter would last 6 more weeks, however he failed to disclose that it would consist of mountains of snow!"

The police department added that, "If you see him, do not approach him as he is armed and dangerous."

The post has received more than 2,000 likes and 3,330 shares on Facebook.
